MAG-7 | Core Breach

MAG-7 | Core Breach is a CS2 shotgun skin for the Counter-Terrorist-exclusive MAG-7. Its orange-and-black radioactive symbols contrast with dark gray components, creating a busy hazard-themed finish. The look suits players who prefer industrial graphics and bright accents on their weapons. It comes in every exterior, with regular and Souvenir copies available but no StatTrak™ version.

Description

MAG-7 | Core Breach gives the Counter-Terrorist shotgun an orange-and-black finish built around radioactive warning symbols. The weapon delivers heavy close-range damage and uses magazine-style reloads, making this a cosmetic option for players who favor that role. Its Hydrographic finish concentrates the repeated pattern across the receiver and pistol grip rather than covering every component equally. Bright orange fittings at the front extend the color scheme beyond the patterned body. Dark gray sections on the barrel, foregrip and upper rail provide contrast and keep the weapon's separate components visually distinct. This combination suits hazard-themed loadouts or players who want bold color without an entirely bright weapon. Regular and Souvenir versions provide different collecting options, while the full exterior range allows buyers to choose their preferred condition. When choosing a copy, buyers can compare its float value, exterior and version alongside the appearance shown in the listing.

History and Origin

Valve released MAG-7 | Core Breach on September 3, 2018. Its introduction accompanied the Nuke 2018 Collection in the London 2018 Souvenir Packages update. Valve created the design, rather than a community designer. The skin belongs to The 2018 Nuke Collection, which also supplies the eligible inputs for its regular trade-up route. Its Souvenir version is available through 11 packages, including the London 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package. The Katowice 2019 Nuke Souvenir Package is another package that can contain the skin. Today, regular copies can be obtained through eligible trade-up contracts or purchased as existing items on the Steam Community Market. Player-to-player trades provide another current route, separate from the collection and update that introduced the finish.

Finish Style

The Hydrographic finish combines a black foundation with orange radioactive imagery for an industrial warning-sign look. Repeated trefoil symbols cover the receiver and pistol grip, making those sections the visual focus. Fine diagonal lines run through the orange areas and give the pattern a tightly textured appearance. Darker overlapping patches add variation within the patterned surfaces rather than leaving the orange as a flat block of color. The short barrel is dark gray, while the surrounding front fittings are bright orange with black inset sections. The large foregrip and upper rail remain mostly dark gray, contrasting with the detailed receiver below them. Orange on the magazine base and rear sight carries the accent color to smaller components. Overall, the finish balances dense graphics across the body and grip with comparatively plain surfaces on the larger dark parts.

Float Value

MAG-7 | Core Breach has a float value range of 0.00 to 1.00. It is available in Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, with no exterior missing from that range. Souvenir copies are available, but there is no StatTrak version; version availability is separate from the cosmetic condition of an individual copy.

Rarity and Popularity

Core Breach has the Restricted rarity grade, which describes its classification rather than whether an individual copy is Factory New or Battle-Scarred. Its chance from The 2018 Nuke Collection is 0.21%, or about 1 in 469 outcomes. Professional players volt, m0NESY and Djoko own the skin, providing documented ownership without establishing how frequently other players buy or trade it.

Why it’s Popular:

• Orange radioactive symbols create a distinctive hazard-themed look

• Dark components contrast with the densely patterned receiver

• Every exterior is available for different condition preferences

• Souvenir copies offer an additional collecting option

Price Range

The live MAG-7 | Core Breach price range is $0.88 to $72.50. These bounds cover the whole skin and should not be treated as fixed quotes for a particular exterior or version. Regular and Souvenir copies should be compared separately, with attention to each item's exterior and float value. For a useful CS2 skin price comparison, check the actual listing rather than relying on the finish name alone. Buyers can use these details to select a copy, while sellers can compare similar listings before setting an asking price.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Souvenir Package

The Souvenir version can be obtained by opening an eligible Nuke Souvenir Package. Supported examples include the London 2018 Nuke Souvenir Package and Katowice 2019 Nuke Souvenir Package, within a set of 11 packages. Opening a package offers a chance at Core Breach rather than a guaranteed selection of this finish.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A contract using 10 Mil-Spec Grade skins from The 2018 Nuke Collection produces 1 Restricted skin from that collection. Core Breach is a possible result, but the selection is random among the collection's Restricted skins.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Existing copies can be bought on the Steam Community Market instead of obtained through a randomized collection result. Check the exterior and regular or Souvenir version, then inspect the float value when available. Buying a listing selects that particular copy, so its individual details matter more than collection outcome odds.

5. Trade with Other Players

Players can obtain Core Breach through a direct trade with another player who owns a copy. Check the offered item's exterior, float value and regular or Souvenir status before agreeing to the exchange. This route targets an existing item rather than a random result from a package or contract.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Regular and Souvenir copies, along with every exterior, give traders several listing types to compare before they buy, sell or trade. Professional ownership provides documented visibility, but it does not establish transaction volume or sustained demand. Supply trends and price history remain uncertain, so differences between individual listings should not be treated as evidence of an investment trend.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Distinctive Valve-created radioactive design

• Souvenir availability across 11 packages

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Full exterior range supports different collecting preferences

The investment rating is medium, supported by a modest price level, Souvenir availability and documented professional ownership. Those features give the skin collecting appeal without proving that prices will rise. The main risk is uncertainty around supply and sustained demand, which leaves its resale outlook difficult to assess.
